The FA Cup is a knockout football (soccer) tournament in England, and is the oldest football competition in the world. One of the unique features of the competition is that involves clubs of all standards, so a part time team may play one of the top clubs. However lower clubs rarely advance to the stages that involve top teams. The first FA Cup competition in season 1871-72 had fifteen entries. Wanderers, a team formed by ex-public school and university players, won the first final 1-0 against Royal Engineers at Kennington Oval. A crowd of 2,000 attended the match and they each paid one shilling for the privilege. The first Cup Final goal was scored by Morton Betts.
